Two posts in one day!

At some point last year or maybe even longer ago than that, Kate and I decided to do a mini-quilt / wall-hanging exchange. And back in July she sent me this lovely quilt! Snowballs on my wall! I finally got around to doing my half of the swap and here it is!

100% scraps -- even the white! Scraps from a summer dress, from other quilts, from random projects.
100% stash

31 x 31

The inner star was paper pieced.

quilted in one-way diagonals which is becoming a look I really love as it just fades away to the eye / doesn't seem to interrupt the pattern, no matter what it is.

I tried to go for "Kate style colors" versus "Carolyn's Oversaturated Rainbow Bright World" and I think I succeeded in making something very pretty and yet subtle. She likes it anyway and that's all that matters!!

I lost a few points in the flying geese...but not as many as I feared. and honestly, I find my eye does not really see them unless I look specifically for that issue. I'm sure they will stand out blaringly to my critics, and we all know who they are right?

Regardless I am super happy with this and super happy that I have finally fulfilled my side of the swap!!!

Just a plain back this time around.

Kate is such a great friend, I'm so happy to have this living in her house now!

OK well I've got to get back to the sewing machine and finish today's pair of pajama pants. Cheers!
